What am I reading? This thread!
I'm halfway through George Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier. It's an old book, but I'm using it as a bible because it tell the cost of salaries and everyday items in the 1920's which is vital to a novel I am writing concerning a disfunctional family - namely two brothers who can't stand one another - heavy. I write heavy anyway. I also like short stories by Somerset Maughan, and Oscar Wilde, also Hammond Innes. Oh, I've also read The Big Fisherman, by Lloyd Douglas - takes a long time to get into that but it's worth it.

Recently, Confessions of a GP and Further Confessions of a GP by Dr Benjamin Daniels and Confessions of a Male Nurse by Michael Alexander
Also the Book of Etiquette for the Socially Less Fortunate by Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet)
I also have Confessions of a Junior Barrister and Confessions of a Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon, but can`t seem to get into those.

I'm not sure, Sam; all I know is that Bruce Fogle is a Vet. Possible, as Ben Fogle does a lot of animal programmes, doesn't he?
